CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169 OUTBURST

After all, a marriage proposal is a big deal, and Mrs. Lu from the Lu Family wouldn’t dare to be negligent in the slightest.

If this matter is handled improperly, the Lu Family’s reputation will be at stake, and Mrs. Lu, who has valued her reputation her entire life, cannot afford to lose face.

By the time both Mrs. Lu and Lu Zechuan were ready, it was already eight in the morning.

Lu Zechuan asked Uncle Sun to drive, with gifts filling the compartments of three cars, and thus they headed grandly towards the Song Family.

The Lu Family’s convoy rarely goes out, but when they do, they are undoubtedly the center of attention on the street. After all, seeing so many luxury cars at once is uncommon even in the entire city of Beijing.

A woman driving a pink supercar watched as the Lu Family’s convoy sped past her car, removed her sunglasses, looked closely, and then narrowed her eyes suspiciously for a while, "Why does it look like the Lu Family’s?"

In the passenger seat, a man with a face full of weariness glanced at the convoy and responded with a faint "It’s the Lu Family’s."

"The Lu Family’s convoy hasn’t been out on the street like this for several years, right?" The woman’s curiosity grew, "Is something big happening with the Lu Family?"

"If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably that guy Lu Zechuan going to the Song Family to propose." The man leaned back lazily on the passenger seat headrest and said.

"What did you say?" The woman’s voice instantly rose several notches, "How can Lu Zechuan go to someone else’s house to propose?!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she stepped on the accelerator, turned the car around, and started chasing after the convoy.

Seeing her actions, the man’s face instantly changed, "Stop the car! How many times have I told you that there’s no way between you and Lu Zechuan!"

The man’s voice was sharp, tinged with a hint of terror.

His foolish sister, stimulated by what he just said, is driving like a madwoman!

Is she trying to get herself killed?!

She might want to die, but he still wants to live!

"Mind your own business!" Gu Xuan gritted her teeth, fire in her eyes.

She had been secretly in love with Lu Zechuan for so many years, always trying to get close but always pushed away.

Later, Xia Mian appeared by Lu Zechuan’s side. She thought Xia Mian was just there to help Lu Zechuan break the spell and that Lu Zechuan was merely using her.

But now, seeing Lu Zechuan going to propose to the Song Family made her realize that Lu Zechuan was serious!

"Stop the car, I want to get out!" Gu Xiao clutched the handle above the passenger seat, his face pale.

He had always known about his sister’s secret love for Lu Zechuan, but she had been reprimanded by Lu Zechuan twice already for being jealous of Xia Mian, so why couldn’t she learn her lesson?!

"Shut up!" Gu Xuan’s voice was fierce, "You knew that Lu Zechuan was going to propose to Xia Mian, why didn’t you tell me earlier!"

Gu Xiao gritted his teeth in frustration, "Why can’t you understand that forcing something won’t make it sweet!"

"You have to taste it to know!" Gu Xuan refused to admit defeat.

She came from a prestigious family, raised with artistic influence and the most advanced education. If Lu Zechuan had to choose a wife, she undoubtedly would be the best choice!

Why would Lu Zechuan choose someone else?!

Gu Xiao was about to be infuriated to death by Gu Xuan.

Today is the day Lu Zechuan proposes to Xia Mian. If Gu Xuan messes it up, considering Lu Zechuan’s temper, the Gu Family is doomed!

"Can you just listen to me? If you want to die, fine, but don’t drag the entire Gu Family with you!" In his fury, Gu Xiao spoke without thinking.

Gu Xuan just wouldn’t listen.

How could Lu Zechuan possibly take drastic action against the Gu Family?

The Gu Family and the Lu Family have had ties for so many years!

Ignoring Gu Xiao’s protests, Gu Xuan soon caught up with the lead car of the Lu Family convoy.

Driving alongside the lead car, she rolled down her window and shouted at the Lu Family’s lead car, "Lu Zechuan, stop!"

Gu Xuan’s voice was so loud that half the street could hear it.

Lu Zechuan slightly turned his head to glance and saw Gu Xuan’s almost frenzied face.

Lu Zechuan subtly furrowed his brows, "Uncle Sun, speed up and lose her."

Uncle Sun replied, shifting gears and accelerating seamlessly.

Soon, he had left Gu Xuan far behind.

"Grandmaster, is that woman infatuated with you?" Shu Dao Mountain blinked his eyes, a face full of naive innocence.

With a dark expression, Lu Zechuan ignored Shu Dao Mountain.

Many people are infatuated with him, and he doesn’t have the time to entertain each one.

"Does the Grand Ancestor know about this?" Shu Dao Mountain continued the topic earnestly, "Today is the Grandmaster’s day for a proposal. Bringing such a thing there, if the Grand Ancestor gets angry, I’m afraid the Grandmaster won’t have a good time!"

Shu Dao Mountain analyzed everything clearly.

Lu Zechuan’s face darkened even more.

However, Shu Dao Mountain was right; Gu Xuan couldn’t be allowed to ruin his good plans.

Thinking this, Lu Zechuan lightly moved his fingers.

As his fingers moved slightly, something began to wriggle slowly in the soil of the green belt on either side of the street, gradually infiltrating onto the road.

By sheer coincidence, when Gu Xuan’s car came over, that thing emerged from the ground, puncturing her tire...

Gu Xuan’s car lost control, crashing heavily into the roadside greenery.

The impact caused Gu Xuan’s nose to bleed, her hair to become messy, and her makeup to smudge.

Dizzy with countless stars before her eyes, her head spun uncontrollably.

In the passenger seat, Gu Xiao fared no better, covered with blood on his forehead and chin. However, since he had been prepared, holding onto the handle, and secured by a seatbelt, other than injuries on his forehead and chin, he had no other injuries.

"Look at the mess you’ve made!" Gu Xiao glared at Gu Xuan, angrily fuming as he opened the car door and got out.

Witnessing the scene before him, Gu Xiao couldn’t help but gasp.

The tree roots from the roadside trees had emerged from underground, punctured their tire, and when their car went out of control and was about to overturn, the roots entangled the tire, sending the car bizarrely crashing into the greenery.

Gu Xuan also got out of the car, similarly gasping in shock at the sight before her.

"I clearly didn’t see any roots just now..." Despite her young age, Gu Xuan was an experienced driver with six years on the road! She knew the basic rules well, and although she drove fast, she watched the road conditions. Clearly, she hadn’t seen any roots on the ground earlier...

Gu Xiao sighed, rubbing his temples, "I told you not to entangle with Lu Zechuan, but you just wouldn’t listen!"

Gu Xuan squinted her eyes, suddenly recalling what she should be doing, turned around, and began to walk, "You stay here. Call a tow truck, file an insurance claim. I’ll go on ahead!"

With that, Gu Xuan stood by the roadside, trying to hail a taxi.

However, perhaps because she looked too disheveled, several taxis passed by, but none would stop for her.
